More like the decline of liberal America. This is what happens when you have a president more concerned about his ncaa bracket and doing talk shows than doing his job. Putin is laughing at Obama. Not the rest of us.

I’m not sure how the KHL schedules its games, but I’m going to guess that those teams will play each other at least once a year. Good luck with that.

Wed, 19 Mar 2014 18:08:39 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2321427#comment-293821I was going to make a similar point about Crimea. Then I Googled KHL team – Ukraine. Sad story:

“The KHL’s only hockey team from Ukraine, Donbass Donetsk, is to continue staging its home games abroad due to the political crisis gripping the country, a top league official told R-Sport on Tuesday.

Donbass advanced to the second round of the playoffs on Monday night with a 3-1 series win over Dinamo Riga, and next faces Lev Prague in the Czech capital on Thursday.

Its first scheduled home game is Sunday, when Donbass will either continue using Slovan’s arena in Bratislava or choose a new home, KHL vice president Vladimir Shalaev told R-Sport.

Donetsk, in the mainly Russian-speaking east of Ukraine, is being rocked by violent clashes between pro-Russian protesters who want closer ties with Russia and pro-Ukrainian activists who do not.”
